is training the orbis orbicularis muscle cope?

does orbis orbicularis muscle training work?

 

[Zeekie]

Anatomical nonsense. You cannot significantly increase the strength or size of the orbicularis oculi through training. Different muscles have different roles and hypertrophic potential. The orbicularis oculi is a small, circular muscle designed for rapid contractions and endurance, think of it like your calves, but even smaller, more specialized, and harder to train. Gains will come extremely slowly, if at all.

Then there's resistance. Even the calves, which bear our full bodyweight daily and have far more growth potential, are very hard to grow, and that’s with added weight and progressive overload. If we can barely grow our calves under those conditions in the gym, with weights and machines, what makes anyone think that pulling your face up with your fingers is going to meaningfully stimulate the orbicularis oculi? It’s simply not enough of a stimulus.

It's 95% likely to be pure cope. Try it if you want, but be ready to develop wrinkles around your eyes long before you see any noticeable gains (if any come at all). Most people who claim they've “improved” their eyes through this either got surgery, abused camera angles, are just squinting differently, or used before-and-afters where their “before” expression was intentionally exaggerated.

I would assume the goal is to improve the resting muscle tone rather than to hypertrophy it

Your eye area is mostly genetics. Most you can do is sleeping, hydrating, makeup and using cold or caffeine serums to reduce dark circles. Dyeing, thickening and curling your eyelashes. Dyeing, thickening and grooming your eyebrows. Using sclera whitening drops. And trying to fraud it by squinting a bit, using contact lenses or using sunglasses.

Without surgery, you can't change things like eye shape, upper eyelid exposure or canthal tilt.

You can use Botox for eyebrow tilt. For eyes you need canthoplasty I think
